Black Bear Manor

Loved Ouray and the location of this B&B. It was also close to a pristine stream flowing from Box Canyon Springs. We spent a lot of of time sitting on a bench beside the stream just relaxing and taking in the beautiful Mountain scenery. Our king room was very nice and clean with a private balcony to exit without going through the main living areas. The breakfast was good but nothing so special as to remember. I’d definitely enjoy a stay at Black Bear Manor again.

Respectfully, the male owner/host bordered being unwelcoming with too much of an “in charge” or “controlling” attitude. We expect it was just his personality type or perhaps he felt a need to ensure all the “rules” or policies were understood and strictly adhered to.

Breakfast was a treat enjoyed on the patio with other guests. Hot fresh scrambled eggs with bacon, although not kept adequately supplied on time for all to choose with meal. Prepared dishes appreciated.

Exhaust fan in bathroom needs repair/replacement for noise created by fan! It must have disturbed other guests when on. Climate of August was warmer than we were comfortable with in our #5 room even with an AC floor unit on temperature 66 and an 8" battery operated fan I brought with us wafting across bed, but it was not able to sufficiently cool room until after midnight when I opened both a screened window and back door. Bathroom is tiny with its door an obstacle to toilet. A pocket door would have been better. We always prefer to support B & B owners and mostly forgiving of minor inconveniences.

Breakfast was amazing, the best part of the stay. The hot tub jets were very strong, like getting a back massage.

Was given room 7 which is very small. The king bed takes up the whole room. The toilet is located right beside the head of the bed. There is no closet or anywhere in the room to hang clothes on hangers.

Loved the jetted tub and the hosts serving breakfast, happy hour, and having coffee and water available all day.

Room might need a little upgrading in the bathroom. The steam option in the shower, vent and a light didn't work.

Nice property & owners; great variety for their continental breakfast since we left at 7:30

Tiny bathroom w accordion door; main breakfast is served at 9 am, which was late for us & several of the travelers

The owners were great and went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

A little dated facility, but very clean and well kept.

Loved the breakfast and added bonus of the happy hour late afternoon. And the host played guitar and sang. It was very special.

Thought the host was a bit controlling over every little detail.

Nice charming property. Friendly hosts and atmosphere.

The room was too small. The air conditioning unit was too loud and took floor space from the already small room.

I lucked into a king suite with a spa bathroom and private patio at the last moment. I'm on the backend of a seven week road trip, so luxury was not in my budget. I'm guessing my karma was good, as they had a one night stay available at a very reduced rate and on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend! Comfortable, relaxing, luxurious are all words I'd use to describe the Inn. Add that to the breathtaking beauty of the mountains, and the serenade of the nearby brook as the surroundings, and it was hard to leave. The staff was welcoming and helpful. Happy hour and breakfast were great, as was the coffee bar.
